QC Approvals: 3/3 (Shrang, Harsha, Pocket)
QC Rejections: 0/3
GP Approvals: 0/3
O.k, so basically I have been testing this on Showdown for ages, people like Nixhex and Lavos Spawn have seen me rape with TR Victini, Stallion reckons it was a solid pokemon and I reckon its deserving of a set. I talked to some QC members about it, some liked it, some didn't, so feel free to test this shit and come back with your thoughts. Basically, I don't really want to write this, because I think my writting sucks and its prolly easier for Grammar Checkers if someone else actually writes this up (assuming it passes QC). That said, if no-one actually wants too, I guess ill do it although im pretty busy :/
I'd approve this myself but stealth approves are gay and some QC members are unsure so ill wait for a full discussion and get others to approve / reject.
Victini (Trick Room)
Victini
[SET]
name: Trick Room
move 1: Trick Room
move 2: V-Create
move 3: Fusion Bolt
move 4: Brick Break
item: Flame Plate
nature: Brave
evs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def
ivs: 0 Spd
Why this set deserves to be on-site:
-Hits like a fucking truck
-Choice Band is usually forced out after a KO / players use death fodder. TR Victini gets around this by setting up TR on a switch, and then spamming V-Create making it exceptionally difficult to revenge kill, while still abusing that powerful V-Create
-Investment in HP makes it slightly more bulky that the other Victini sets onsite, which allows it to do its job (setting up TR) easier.
-Good check to Volcarona, which can be fairly annoying to many sun teams, the extra bulk allows Victini to tank a Bug Buzz and nail it with V-Create
Additional Comments:
-Life Orb I guess for extra power for Fusion Bolt and Brick Break. Losing 10% every time you attack is a little offputting tho, and mostly you are spamming V-Create anyway.
-Umm i guess you can run slightly more speed if you wanted to outspeed something before Trick Room but means slower shit will then outspeed you under Trick Room I guess.
-Muscle Band is an o.k option since you still retain an item that boosts V-Create, and it can threaten to 2KO certain Tyranitar, Politoed and Heatran after Stealth Rock, which Flame Plate just misses out on. It also helps break Dragonites MultiScale, letting you KO with V-Create.
-U-Turn is a cool move because you can U-Turn out of a Tyranitar / Politoed switch to trap them, or at least get a more advantageous switch. On the other hand you can try hitting them with a Brick Break / Fusion Bolt anyway but its an option.
-Sunny Day can be used as well for when you predict the weather starter switching in, leaving you free to nuke something with V-Create. Losing out on a coverage moves sucks I guess but then again, V-Create is all you rly need :)
Teammates & Counters:
-You want Ninetales as a partner obv so you can destroy Fire resists with V-Create (like OHKOing Rotom W)
-Dugtrio is a good partner cos it can trap weather starters like Politoed and Tyranitar which will switch in and take away sunlight, making you easier to wall. It also traps some Heatran.
-The ever useful Stealth Rock is a good option here, since it helps wear down Tyranitar / Hippowdon / Politoed, as well as push a few 2Kos into OHKOs which is pretty useful for Victini since it generally doesn't want to take a hit once its started spamming V-Create. Heatran or Dugtrio are decent options here.
-Adding a grass type is prolly useful since a) your using this with sun and b) its nice for Hippowdon (which Duggy cannot trap), as well as giving you a threat to Politoed or something.
-Having a spinner or Magic Bounce user is recommended (although I was able to get by without one) cos SR / Spikes can wear you down, and Victini likes its bulk so it can pull off a Trick Room.
-Weather inducers are going to give you trouble (as already explained), as well as Stealth Rock / Spikes
-Heatran is annoying
-In general if something survives your hit, and has decent attacking power, the drops to your defensive stats via V-Create will cause you to take heavy damage. Then again, V-Create hits like a fucking truck so just weaken them a little bit I guess.
EDIT
Nixhex has agreed to write this for me if it passes QC so ty :)
